Powershell script:

Here is the powershell script that generates the files for testing:

# Define the base folders
$securityFolder = "C:\Users\zqayyum\Source\Repos\DataMart.Academy.DoraMetrics\tsqlt\Security"
$scriptsFolder = "C:\Users\zqayyum\Source\Repos\DataMart.Academy.DoraMetrics\tsqlt"


# Create base folders if they don't exist
if (!(Test-Path $securityFolder)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $securityFolder }
if (!(Test-Path $scriptsFolder)) { New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $scriptsFolder }

# Define main file names (schemas)
$fileNames = @(
 "testMergeStagingDataCommits.sql",
 "testMergeStagingDataEnvironments.sql",
 "testMergeStagingDataPullRequests.sql",
 "testMergeStagingDataReleases.sql",
 "testMergeStagingDataRepositories.sql",
 "testMergeStagingDataThreads.sql"
)

# Define stored procedure test files
$storedProcFiles = @(
 "Test changed rows are logged.sql",
 "Test changed rows are not logged as inserted.sql",
 "Test changed rows are updated.sql",
 "Test errors are logged.sql",
 "Test import date on changed rows is updated.sql",
 "Test new rows are inserted.sql",
 "Test new rows are not logged as updated.sql"
)

foreach ($name in $fileNames) {
 # Create .sql file under Security
 $filePath = Join-Path $securityFolder $name
 $schemaName = [System.IO.Path]::GetFileNameWithoutExtension($name)

 # Content for schema file
 $schemaContent = @"

 # Create Stored Procedures subfolder

 # Create stored procedure files with dynamic content
 foreach ($procFile in $storedProcFiles) {

 }
}

Write-Host "All files and folders created successfully with dynamic procedure content"

Finances

I decided to spin up a docker container to manage finances. For the moment there is no way to connect to a Bank without using an intermediary (privacy concerns).

Next Week

• Understands Server Operating Systems (might be tough)
• Understanding of TCP/IP
